Margaret Cross Norton Award

The Margaret Cross Norton Award recognizes the author of what is judged to be the best article in the previous two-year (four issue) cycle of Archival Issues. A panel of three archivists independent of the journal’s Editorial Board selects the winner of the Margaret Cross Norton. Winners of the reward receive a certificate and $250.

The award was established in 1985 to honor Margaret Cross Norton, a legendary pioneer in the American archival profession and the first state archivist of Illinois.
